The Sustainable Development Agenda: Evaluating the G20 as a Stage for National and Collective Goals
The concept of “sustainable development” is premised on three interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars: economic development, social development, and environmental protection. It aims to encourage human societies to meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. In this brief by the
